Pros

After having moved to Chevron after years of experience at another company, I can honestly say that Chevron is a company that values and respects its employees. This is evident in everything from supporting work-life balance (flex-time, 9/80 work schedules, 4-10 work schedules, etc...), providing training and development opportunities, and support of numerous employee networks, to detailed and monthly one-on-one meetings with direct supervisors to discuss issues, concerns, performance management, etc...

Cons

Chevron is a global company. Within the United States, however, it is very West Coast focused. The cost of living on the West Coast is very high compared to other areas of the country, such as the mid-west and even parts of the East Coast.

Pros

The people at Chevron are great and overall it's a pretty good company - decent benefits and company culture. The 9/80 work schedule is a great perk. It has struggled to stay competitive with other big employers in California though.

Cons

Leadership has become increasingly out of touch, with regular re-organizations, lay-offs, and offshoring of support/operation functions disrupting day-to-day work and making processes even more slow and bureaucratic. Overall most employees are still wonderful to work with, but the constant leadership mantra of "do more with less" and removal of flexible/hybrid work has definitely reduced morale and made Chevron just another job, whereas it used to be a genuinely enjoyable place to work.
